Read this Yahoo article about a new anti-piracy law in the U.S.  It really makes you think twice before you start that download:

For the next week you can earn extra credit by turning in one of the following:

• A movie rewards code from any Disney movie (1 point each)
• A ticket stub from any Disney movie (1 point each)
• You can get a maximum of 5 points this way.

Why does Mr. Esparza want these codes/stubs?

I have a teacher friend that uses them to get items for her Kindergarten classroom.  With the stubs and codes she gets gift items and classroom items for her students.  YOU will be helping her with her classroom and getting some extra credit at the same time.  It’s enough to give you warm fuzzies for a whole day.

The last day to turn in any item for this extra credit is 10/21/08    :o)
